Unreal Tournament however was not the only game that I was playing. I also enjoyed Quake 3 Arena, Counter Strike (Source) and many other PC shooters.</p><p>The website that published the list is currently not available, here is a short recap of the five ways:</p><p><span
id="more-1693"></span><ul><li>The â€œOtherâ€? Nade Kill &#8211; Being killed by a grenade is a common way to die in Counter Strike. Dieing because someone (a team mate for instance) hit you with the grenade subtracting 1HP from your hitpoints is pretty embarassing. Everyone else will have a good laugh though</li><li>Crushing People &#8211; Some games subtract 1HP if you fall on someone. This is another funny way to die.</li><li>Cratering &#8211; I&#8217;m able to make that jump.. Well, seeing someone trying to jump from a cliff to the other side and failing miserably is funny.</li><li>The Shank &#8211; Being killed by the worst weapon in the game.</li><li>The Telefrag &#8211; the beloved telefrag. This was the BEST weapon in Unreal Tournament until Epic decided to nerf it. A friend of mine was so good with the friggin teleporter that he was constantly accused of cheating. There was no cap in the beginning which meant you could teleport around many times in a second.<p>Telefragging means that your character appears in the same spot that another character is standing in. The character standing in that spot is instantly integrated which means that this is a very good way to get rid of someone with armor, shield and the best weapons.</li></ul><p>Are there other ways that you can think of ? Rocket Boosts gone wrong for instance is surely a nice way to die although it resembles Cratering.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/06/23/the-five-most-embarassing-ways-to-die-in-an-fps/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>9</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
